Thanks, I'll see what I can make

Not looking good here for one of my pens. When I drilled her I went bloody cock eye and I have cracked. she is in reglue up now. Time will tell whether this one makes the distance or not.:confused: I should have one left hopefully 2.
Toni

You're way ahead of me this time, Toni. Good luck with the reglue!

I've only just finished my glue-up, now I'm dreading the drilling... if the bit wanders off-centre by even a millimetre my pens are going to look like so much "junk." (Not what I was gonna say, but discretion and all that. ) After all these pens, you'd think I'd have learned better... but do I ever do anything the way I know it should be done?

Bad luck Toni, hope the glue up works Ok.

I was going to try a butterfly (see Purpleheart's pool cue thread), but even with cutting all the off-cuts into 1mm thick and the thin piece down the middle, I only had enough for very small half butterflies . I got 2 pens, but nothing special

sorry to here your bad luck hope it work out toni
Andrew

I have finished mine. One OK, the other ordinary. I hope yours work out Toni.

Nup, she never made the distance. The second pen gave up the fight to live this morning..LOL.. i got one out of 2. The other one was beyond resusitation.
bye Toni

sorry to here that toni
Andrew

well, your all ahead of me, i havent started :eek:

had lots to do.

So I glued mine up yesterday... and this arvo took a look at what kits'n'pieces I have in stock before I actually started turning.

Hmmm... a couple of cigar kits... but I've cut'n'glued for 7mm. Still, nice to know I have 'em to hand. Hmmm... [rummage, rummage] Ah, yes, here's the 7mm stock! Lessee... I've heaps of centre-bands for slimlines (funny, that!) a few odd clips and nibs, and one helluva lot of refills. Stocks are getting low, which I already knew, but I can manage to finish this months' swap before re-ordering.

Hang on... can I?

Mechanisms? [rummage, rummage, rummage] Errmmm... mechanisms? [another frantic rummage] Nup, no mechanisms! :eek: D'Oh! And the treasurer has not only forbidden any more transactions for this month, she also found the paper trail from the last... "secret" transaction, so even next month's budget is looking grim. :mad:

What I'd really like to know is: where's the $$$ from the last lot? I demand an independant audit! Someone's diddling the books! (Besides me, that is. )

Froggie? Mate, ol' pal, bosom buddy mine, how's my line of credit? :confused:

I got some spare 7mm kits if you do need some Skew? Pm me if you want
